Little review of the British Plein Air Painters London exhibition...

The British Plein Air Painters show 'Capturing the moment' has now come to an end, but it was a great success! Hundreds of visitors, lots of red dots and so many good feedback, thanks all for coming! It had been a over a year of preparation and about a million of emails and whatsaps messages, but it was worth it! Here are pictures of the show. I felt very honoured to be a part of it!

The set up of the show. We had about 4 hours to hang 240 paintings. Eeeekkkkk

Don't drop this one Tony, it's a Fred Cuming!

Paintings were being delivered in those handy silver art bags, as appealing as hot paninis!

Fantastic location of the Menier Gallery near London Bridge

All set up and dressed up for the big night!

Big turnout!

Surrounded by two painting legends: David Curtis and Trevor Chamberlain

Yeah! I received a beautiful Fred Cuming book!

My mum and sister came all the way from Belgium!

To promote the show and spread our love of plein air painting, we did organise a couple of public paint out days in London in the weeks prior to the show. Here are some images below. About 150 in total turned up to the events. It was great fun!

Now the show is over, it's time to catch our breath and also think about the future of the British Plein Air Painters group and plan for our next adventure! Watch this space!
